Chapter 35 The debut of special operations (2)
Fu Yunlong lay quietly on a hill, looking at the intersection in the valley in front of him with a telescope. Behind him, the entire hillside was almost covered with special forces wearing camouflage uniforms, and the number was probably two or three thousand!
There were not many French battalions in the Pyrenees, with a total of only 14 or 5 troops, with a total force of only more than 100,000. Therefore, the special forces do not need to be broken down into small teams and split into squadrons.
He was responsible for the No. 3 bastion No. 3, the largest enemy in the southern Pyrenees, with about 10,000 people stationed. This should be the largest bastion of the French army in the entire Pyrenees region. Therefore, he led three squadrons, a total of 3,000 special forces.
Just yesterday, they had wiped out the grain transport team transported to the No. 3 Basket. The seized was about 500,000 kilograms. Of course, this seizure did not mean that they had transported all the food and grass. They only took about 200,000 kilograms away and burned them all.
They didn't bring all the 200,000 kilograms with them, most of them were buried in a hidden valley. Now each person has only brought about ten kilograms, so that they will not affect their actions.
He didn't know how much food was stored in the enemy's No. 3 bastion. Five hundred thousand pounds were about one month's consumption in the bastion. If the French army delivered food monthly, within three days, the defenders in the bastion would definitely send people to search. After all, without food, they would really starve to death. If the food of the month was not delivered on time, it would be strange if they could sit there.
He was also the first time a girl was in the sedan chair when she was commanding special operations. He was not sure what she would be like. They were actually not fighting before. Except for the days when they worked hard to run through the French blockade line and then to the back of the French defense line, they were tired even before they were trained.
Even yesterday, it was not difficult to cut off the grain. Several snipers killed the French soldiers leading the way in front with one shot. As for the civilians behind, let alone. In short, he still has no feeling of fighting, and all this is still like training.
Just as he was bored and wanted to change the squadron leader to monitor, French soldiers suddenly appeared at the intersection of the valley in front. Then, teams of French soldiers appeared on the small road in the valley, with more and more.
Finally taking the bait, Fu Yunlong showed an excited expression on his face.
No matter how many enemies come, he is not afraid, because there are only more than 10,000 people in the No. 3 Bastion. Even if they all come, they cannot be the opponent of the 3,000 special forces in these mountains. He only hopes that more enemies can be found, the better!
As a result, he was disappointed, and there were only more than a thousand enemies in total, and there were no more people behind him.
He sighed, and then ordered in a low voice: "Let the snipers prepare, once their artillery is scrapped, fire the gun, don't hit their commander first, lead them over and talk."
The three squadron leaders behind him responded in a low voice, and then gestured backwards. Soon, thirty snipers quickly climbed up and lay in a row on the ridge.
At this time, the French army did not have a large number of field artillery, and only a thousand people pulled two of the smallest howitzers. Although the caliber of the howitzers was small, the overall weight was actually not light. In addition, the cannon carts were at least four or five hundred kilograms, and it was a bit difficult to pull a war horse.
Why was Fu Yunlong so sure that the enemy's artillery would be destroyed? Of course, it was because they had done their tricks. On the path in the valley ahead, there was a small stone bridge built with stone slabs. The small stone bridge had been transformed by them. It was okay for people to walk over. Are the artillery guns? If you climb them up, the bridge will break!
Moreover, they dug a big hole under the bridge, and it would be fine to drop a few cannons into it.
The French army did not find the ambush on the ridge, they just walked forward slowly, and even most of the people's flintlock rifles were carried on their shoulders and had no defense at all.
They might just wonder why the food has not arrived yet, and they don’t know that the team transporting the food has been wiped out by the Ming army.
Seeing their lazy appearance, Fu Yunlong couldn't help but shake his head. At this time, the great powers were actually not very skilled in military literacy. They could only bully the barbarians without gunpowder weapons by relying on the benefits of muskets and artillery. They were not opponents when they met the third-class legion of the Ming army!
These more than a thousand people slowly passed by the path below their ridges, and there were not even people who looked up and looked carefully at the ridges. The low military literacy is conceivable.
Of course, even if they looked up carefully, they could not find the Ming army above. Not only was the ridge of the mountain that was nearly one mile away from the path, but each Ming army was wearing camouflage uniforms and hats made of green grass. Without a telescope, they would only think that the grass here was growing more lush.
After a while, more than a thousand French soldiers walked past the path in front of Fu Yunlong, and there was a small stone bridge not far ahead.
Fu Yunlong ordered decisively: "The first squadron moved to the left to block their way, the third squadron moved to the right to block their way to return, and the second squadron stayed to prepare to face the enemy."
With his order, the two squadron leaders behind slowly lay down the ridge, then stood up with their waists, waved their hands, and took their subordinates to the left and right.
Less than a stick of incense passed, the two field howitzers protected by the enemy finally boarded Xiaoshi Bridge. The wheels of the second howitzer had just pressed onto the bridge deck, and with a "click", the bridge deck suddenly broke from the middle, followed by a crackling sound, a horse's neighing, and a scream, and the entire valley was suddenly very lively.
After a burst of smoke and dust, dozens of French soldiers screamed and climbed up from under the bridge. As for artillery and the war horses that pulled the artillery fell into the pit and could not get in.
The French commander in front heard the screams behind him and immediately ran back. Seeing the tragic situation under the stone bridge, he realized that there might be enemies nearby, but he looked around and saw no trace of an enemy.
Seeing this, Fu Yunlong ordered coldly: "Sniper, shoot."
"Bang" with a loud noise, and immediately thirty French soldiers fell down with their necks covering their necks.
There was no muffler at this time. The loud noise immediately attracted the attention of the French commander. He saw a small amount of smoke rising from the upper beam and immediately judged that there were definitely less than a hundred enemies on the mountain!
That's not bad. Dozens of people dared to ambush thousands of people. He immediately waved his hand and rushed towards the mountain ridge here.
As a result, they had just run below the ridge and had not started climbing the hill, and stepped on hundreds of landmines. For a moment, the French soldiers fell down a large area, and the entire valley was filled with screams of ghosts and wolves howling.
The French commander hesitated and didn't even see the shadow of the enemy. Almost half of the people fell down. How could he fight this battle?
Seeing this, Fu Yunlong immediately ordered: "Sniper, kill the commander, the others take the bayonet and prepare to charge."
"Baopao" there was another loud noise, and the French commander instantly burst into blood and was beaten into a sieve.
Now, the French army was finally scared and didn't know who was the leader. Everyone who could run turned around and ran back.
Chapter completed!
